This paper provides an overview of the health policy component of the National Survey of America’s Families (NSAF), fielded as part of the Urban Institute’s Assessing the New Federalism project. The paper is intended to provide policymakers, researchers, and potential users of public use files with an overview of NSAF’s purpose, sampling approach and questionnaire content, with a focus on issues that will be of primary interest to health care researchers. Additionally, we describe planned research using the survey and dates for public release of the NSAF data. (Inquiry 1999 Fall;36(3):353-362)
